Another Research Method

If you never used a Web Ring to navigate the Internet's web sites, I suggest that you take a good look at it . The rings are valuable research resources. ---- Just what is a Web Ring? A Web Ring is a group of related sites (related meaning same topic) where each site places a navigation bar to permit you to move to either the next or to the previous related site in that Web Ring group. There thousands of Web Rings, and all are controlled by a Ring Master who approves all members in his/her Web Ring to assure topical continuity. Once you have locate a Ring of interest, you are assured to have a highly focused Internet surfing session on the subject being covered in that ring. For a start, visit the Yahoo Ring collection, and select a ring topic of interest.
